Cheap, delicious pan-Asian food , quick service---we usually get take-out from here, which is always worth it, but also fine for a casual sit-down meal.

BEST. TACOS. EVER. Very unfortunate that they don't deliver, because if they did, this is all we'd eat. Nip across the street for a drink at the Bearded Lady while you wait for your order.

This is one of my favorite bars in the neighborhood. It's not quite in our neighborhood, but it's a lovely walk from the apartment and an intimate place to have a long chat with a good friend.
